This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Shanghai. 10minutes walking distance from the Bound. It's perfect if you are there for 1-2 night. a perfect place where to stay. Rooms are big, clean, with many amenities. Restaurants are good only if you take the buffet....otherwise definetly better all the resturants out in area. more

The location of the hotel is excellent. However, plenty of little issues that need to be addressed. Our booking was, very straightforward, booked through a travel agent, for 2 connecting rooms (2 adults, 2 kids) and airport transfers. I was told before that there were no connecting room in this hotel, which is amazing considering the size/ number of rooms.... more

We booked a deluxe room and were given a small suite on the 17th floor overlooking Nanjing pedetrianised shopping street. Absolutely fabulous. Room large and beautifuully equipped with wonderful service. Fantastic location - could not be bettered. Restaurant excellent and the buffets were terrific and incredible value (different theme every night). Marvellous lobby and bar with first rate service. Not... more

On the basis of these reviews I rang two nights before our arrival and confirmed our booking for twin beds/non... more

Stayed here 5 nights for business/pleasure. Rooms were very nice. Marble bathrooms (though the toilet sometimes ran if not flushed just so). Bottled water was replenished two times a day in the room. Great location, close to most tourist spots. Fitness center was decently equipped (free weights, treadmills, bikes, rowing machines) and a nice sized indoor pool. Multiple saunas and... more

I recently stayed at the Howard Johnson in the Huangpu District of Shanghai. I found it mediocre despite being rated as a 5 star hotel. While checking in, we found the staff unfriendly. They put us on the smoking floor. We requested for transfer to a non-smoking floor as I am asthmatic and the man behind the desk acted like... more

This hotel exceeded our expectations from the start, however in order to remain objective I will put forward the areas that need some improvement. The check-in was efficient and the rooms were grand, commanding and spacious. The hotel has all the facilities of a 5 stat hotel - restaurants, gym, concierge, pool and more. The hotel decor is very grand... more
